Several weeks before Alex left for his journey, he was down in the dining area of the Inn, helping as a waiter on a very busy night.
There was apparently a festival of sorts going on for the winter solstice but rather than a normal, full-on festival where carts and tents were set up for games and food, residents could participate by going to all inns or taverns in the city and buying a drink.
That was it basically, just an excuse to get everyone drunk.
Because of that, the bar was packed and people were even standing around and stumbling. They had a line near the door for people who waited to check this inn off their list and Alan was actually sweating from the amount of action he was forced to do.
The night ended up passing quickly, thankfully, since it was so busy and Alex sighed in relief as he started cleaning up tables. Eventually, he came across a table and started throwing things into a bucket to take to the back since he couldn't use essence like everyone else to carry things.
Just as he was about to leave, he noticed he missed a napkin on the floor so he picked it up. He ended up turning it over, to find there was writing on it.
Intrigued, he looked at it more carefully and it read: "For a good time~ 407 $$"
It was short and brief, but the more he read it the more he felt like this was an invitation for paid sex.
'Is 407 the room number to this inn? Or somewhere else?' He thought as he looked around to see if anyone was looking at him.
Not sure what to really do, he stuffed the napkin in his pocket and finished up working for the night. It wasn't really a pressing matter for him, since he had his own girls who would gladly spend the night with him for free.
He might even be the one to get paid!
To pay for sex was like paying for porn, it's plenty free as long as you look hard enough for what you are looking for. While he was interested, he wasn't desperate.

"Oh, that's Candy's room. She's a prostitute." Kaya said nonchalantly as she sucked on a lollipop and laid over his lap.
"Wait what? How do you know this?" He was shocked that both his girls actually knew of such a thing going on within this Inn.
"Well yeah, anyone who's been here long enough knows who she is. She's one of the oldest workers here, works in the kitchen with me and Sharla, and makes some fantastic deserts. That's why people started calling her Candy, not sure what her real name is though." Kaya answered easily.
"Are you thinking of going?~" Alicia teased him knowing his answer already.
While she didn't know Candy personally like Kaya did, Alicia knew she was a sweet girl despite selling her body. While she would never do it herself, Alicia knew that women had to do what they had to do to get by in this world.
"Do the Setters not know she's doing this?" He was confused why such a business could stay within these walls.
"Oh I'm sure they do," Kaya continued as she rolled over to expose her sexy pierced belly, "She offers services during work as well, as long as they are discrete and quick. Sharla definitely knows since she's working with her so often. Alan probably doesn't care as long as it doesn't affect business.
"Candy's a smart girl so she knows the right times to do those things without getting in trouble. I heard her rates are high though so hopefully you haven't spent all of your fortune yet~"
Kaya teased him as well, so he tickled her stomach and she squealed. The room ended up getting a bit hot as he started making out with the blonde, and Alicia soon jumped in a well. Surprisingly, his girls pushed him out the door to go see Candy.
While they would love to spend the night with him, they were also interested to see Candy's take on their man. She was probably the most experienced woman they knew when it came to sex so they wanted to see if he would get a 5-star review or not.
They were also interested to hear about the lewd face she would make after losing herself to the pleasure. She was an experienced woman so Candy had few encounters with men who knew what they were doing.
Oftentimes, she would end her nights by herself masturbating with toys, as she would say often, instead of a dick. Alex's girlfriends wanted to be 'nice' and give the now 30-something-year-old Candy a night to remember.
- - -
Alex soon found himself on the 4th floor of the Inn, standing in front of room 407 where she was supposedly offering her services.
Before he could knock, he could already hear moans coming from the other side. They were mostly moans of a man, not something he wanted to hear, while there were some sexier, quieter moans.
However, there was something different about those feminine moans that made him narrow his eyes. As a man who knew he satisfied his women, he could tell that the woman beyond the door's moans were completely fake.
She was not enjoying what was going on, and luckily for her, unlucky for Alex who was still listening, the man in the room grunted in an ugly way as he finished. Alex cringed as he left the front of the door to stand a ways away and wait for the guy to leave.
He wasn't a fan of sloppy seconds, but this was a prostitute he was trying to get with here. He wasn't sure how this stuff went about exactly so once the slightly chubby and below-average-looking guy left the room with a smile, he waited to see if no one else would come for her services.
Alex waited a few seconds to make sure he was alone before he went and knocked on the door.
"You're not getting a second round. One round per week, per customer. Those are the rules." a female voice came from the other side as he knocked.
He raised an eyebrow at these rules. 'She must really not get good dick.' He thought about how unfair these rules seemed to be for guys.
"Well, I have yet to taste a first round with the famous Candy." He spoke back through the door while he looked around feeling a bit embarrassed.
He listened for a reply, but there seemed to be no movement inside. After what seemed like several minutes, he heard shuffling before the door opened up.
In front of Alex was now a beautiful blonde woman, tall, with golden ratio curves. She also had blue eyes, not as icy as his, and a small pink heart tattoo under her eye that complimented her makeup well.
She was dressed like what he expected Candy would dress up like. She had frills on her extremely short skirt and a bra that threatened to break. It was all mostly pink, on her and in the room, but it was just enough to make her look like a princess, rather than someone obsessed with the color.
He blinked a few times at her, surprised at her beauty. If what his girls said was right, she was probably in her mid-thirties, yet she didn't look a day over 21.
Candy was actually doing the same, wide-eyed that she actually had a hot customer for once! The majority of her patrons were small dicked and ugly in her opinion, while some of them were probably average looking both in size and looks.
She had high expectations for her partners so someone like Alex showing up at her door was rare.
'I hope he's not one of those small pretty boys.' She glanced down at his crotch before speaking.
"Hey there sexy, what can I do for you?~" She smirked and began flirting with him.
Alex smiled as well, not immune to her charms but that was because he let her. He quickly took out the napkin he found earlier to show her and she looked at it with interest.
"I found this earlier and felt like I was in 'for a good time' if I came here." He smirked back and she smiled knowingly.
It was more of an open secret that she had this business even though she never talked about her business during her downtime or during work. She also wouldn't answer anyone who tried to talk to her about this or accuse her of doing this stuff, managing to turn the tide on her accusers and finding ways to get them fired for something.
She wasn't just good in bed, she was also good in the head. Her wit was what helped her stay alive in this cruel world and now that she had a safe space to live, she wanted to use that wit to better herself financially.
"Oh? Then please come in." She teased and stepped aside for him.
He entered the room and admired the pink room that was decorated like a birthday party for some reason. Maybe this was a fetish thing or something but he didn't get much of a chance to admire it when he heard Candy clear her throat.
"Do you have the money?" Her tone was colder than before, as she was glaring at him slightly like he was a pathetic worm.
He was amused by her anger, mostly because her image right now made her look closer to an angry clown. It wasn't very scary. However he was here for paid sex, so he wasn't going to criticize her on the way she treated her customers.
There were bound to be assholes that showed up with no money and would try to threaten her into sex. She was bound to have a way to fight back so he wasn't going to take any chances.
"How much?" He replied with a smile.
"10 gold." She lied.
Alex raised an eyebrow at the price since this was the same price as that Heartwood drink he had a while ago, and that was only for a glass! Was a night with her worth that much? Most likely not.
Alex sighed, "While I have more than 10 gold, I doubt that's what it actually costs or you wouldn't have any customers coming in here. I think this might have been a waste of time."
He made his way past her toward the door but quickly felt an arm grab him.
"Ah, I'm sorry! That was supposed to be a test for my customers! To make sure they have money. Please don't leave just yet!" Candy looked desperate for this hunk to stay and quickly tried to cover up her embarrassment.
Alex smiled and stopped to listen to her.
"Normally I just ask for 1 gold like that to make sure my customers have money. I'm sorry for trying to charge you more so I'll give you a discount if you decide to buy my services~"
She quickly got her businesswoman's face back and made her offer.
"I understand then. How much is it normally?" He asked since he never got an actual number.
"It depends on what you want. Handjob is 5 silver, blowjob 10 silver, titty fuck is 20, assjob 30, sex is 50, anal 60, and creampie an additional 70 for either of those. I ask for 1 gold at least since that is the average amount people usually spend on my services."
She giggled and Alex blinked a few times since this was all still a bit new to him.
"Well, I said earlier that I have over 10 gold to spend. Why don't you give me your recommendation?"
Candy smirked at his words, not sure if she was excited about getting paid a lot tonight, or more excited to spend the night with his hunk. It all depended on his size and abilities in bed.
"Alright then~ Take off your clothes and let Candy Cane suck you like a lollipop." She giggled again as she started strip teasing.
Alex also slowly got himself undressed as he admired her body. She was definitely fit, with sexy abs on her thin abdomen to compliment her curves. She giggled as she felt his eyes on her and bit her lip as she saw him pull his shirt off and reveal his muscular body.
'Holy shit he's hot!' She screamed in her mind and the deciding factor of how this night would go down was only a layer of clothes away. She was already naked as she watched Alex now strip for her.
He chuckled, getting the feeling that he really should be paid for something like this.
Soon, his sleeping dragon came out and stood at attention, making Candy widen her eyes and make an O-face.
"My Goddess, you're huge!" She commented and quickly got on her knees after pushing him onto the bed.
He didn't get a chance to say anything as she grabbed his dick and measured it up to her arm. It was just as thick as her arm, shocking her as she giggled and slapped it on her face. His dick was almost a head tall, as it measured up almost the full length of her head.
She already felt herself getting excited, as this was a glorious dick to hold and she had been in need of something like this for a while now.
"Is Candy Cane your real name?" Alex was curious after his talk with his girls.
Candy raised an eyebrow at him, confused as to why this customer was trying to talk rather than fuck.
"Of course not. It's just a stage name. Don't want my real name going all over the place like this one does. I hope you aren't thinking of stalking me, I have too many of those already." She narrowed her eyes as she slowly stroked his cock a bit tighter than he liked.
Alex grunted as he continued asking questions.
"Sorry, not my intentions. I was just curious since my girlfriend works with you."
"Wait, who's your girlfriend?" She narrowed her eyes again and paused her movements as she had a feeling she knew who this hot guy was.
"Kaya, she told me she worked with you in the kitchen." He answered and Candy's suspicious face quickly morphed into a beaming one.
"You know little Kakaya?!" She stood up and rested her hands on his thighs as she leaned forward to him.
He back up a bit from this sudden change. He snorted a little.
"What's a Kakaya?"
